    Worried about spruce tree. Dying?

    I've never in my entire life gotten a confirmation on whether or not to water a dying tree or plant, so I didn't expect to break my run here lol. To hell with it, the tree is getting watered at least I'm doing something. I'll update in a few weeks on whether or not the chainsaws will be needed...

    Worried about spruce tree. Dying?

    Can we get a confirmation then that what this tree needs right now in its emergency state, is a good deep watering? And any harm risked by it being done. As I said, that's what I did last time several years ago, but it was guesswork. It appears to be worsening with the browning, so as I said...

    Worried about spruce tree. Dying?

    What is the root flare and how do I get a pic. As far as history of care, its in my front yard and I've been here 17 years. Neither I nor my neighbors have applied any herbicides or sprays, other than occasionally weed killer for driveway cracks (and I don't think I used any this year). The...

    Worried about spruce tree. Dying?

    Of course you want to say that nothing is wrong, this is just something having to do with the season.... but its getting to the point where I may have to admit I'm in denial. I've seen this happen about five years ago, possibly not this bad. I do not know what the cause was then, or what...
